Their nuptials — yet another union of Bollywood and cricket — were a close-knit family affair in Tuscany, Italy on Monday afternoon. They announced their new relationship status on social media, where congratulatory messages poured in soon after.

Veteran actor Amitabh Bachchan tweeted: “Virat and Anushka, wishes and blessings on this most auspicious day in your lives. Happiness and togetherness ever.”

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) congratulated the couple and wished them “a very happy married life”.

Tendulkar said “Virushka” — an amalgam of Virat and Anushka’s names — “look wonderful together”.

Sania went “awee” on the couple’s endearing photographs, and tweeted: “Congratulations you two… You look lovely and so so happy. Wish you all the happiness in the world.”

Cricketer Harbhajan Singh tweeted: “Jug jug jeeve eh sohni Jodi… Rab hamesha khush rakhe (May this beautiful couple enjoy a long life. May God keep them happy always).”
